Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

FreeSense respects your privacy. freesense.org is a static website with no user accounts, no advertising, and no cross-site tracking. This page explains the little data that is involved when you visit.

The short version

  • ✓ No advertising or tracking cookies.
  • ✓ No analytics that profile you across sites.
  • ✓ The only browser storage is your own cookie-consent choice.
  • ✓ The installed firewall sends no telemetry, device ID, or configuration to us.
  • ✓ We never sell or share personal data — we don't collect any to begin with.

1. Who we are

This site is operated by The FreeSense Project, an open-source community project. For privacy questions, contact us via theFreeSense-org GitHub organization.

2. Cookies & local storage

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking. The site stores a single value in your browser's localStorage, fs-cookie-consent, which simply records whether you accepted or declined this notice so we don't ask again. It contains no personal information and is never sent to a server. You can clear it any time via your browser settings.

3. Server logs (hosting)

The website, package service, and download images are served by Cloudflare(Pages and R2). As part of delivering and protecting them, Cloudflare processes standard request metadata such as your IP address, browser user-agent, and the page or file requested. This is used only for operating the service, security, and abuse prevention, and is handled under Cloudflare's own privacy terms. We do not combine it with anything else or use it to identify you.

4. Third-party requests

  • Google Fonts — the site loads the “Space Grotesk” webfont from Google's font CDN, which means your browser sends a request (including your IP) to Google for the font files. No cookies are set by this request.
  • Releases and updates — the website reads public release documents frompkg.freesense.org. Installer images are served bydownloads.freesense.org; update manifests, repository metadata, and packages are served by pkg.freesense.org.
  • GitHub — links to source code and issues take you to github.com, which has its own privacy policy.

5. Installed FreeSense systems

FreeSense contains no project telemetry, device registration, automatic configuration upload, or usage reporting. The updater makes unauthenticated HTTPS requests topkg.freesense.org for a signed repository manifest, update notes, repository metadata, and packages. The appliance does not contact the marketing website for updates. Network services and optional packages you enable may contact the upstream services you configure; those connections are separate from FreeSense project telemetry.

6. What we do not do

We do not run advertising networks, social-media trackers, session recording, or fingerprinting. We do not create user profiles. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data.

7. Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, the GDPR gives you rights to access, correct, or erase personal data and to object to processing. Because this site does not collect or store personal data beyond the transient server logs described above, there is normally nothing to retrieve — but you are welcome to contact us with any request or question.

8. Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.

FreeSense runs on your own hardware. Its source code and outbound update paths are public and auditable.
